The UNITED NATIONS of room 12

Welcome to the UNITED NATIONS of room 12 page.

This term we are looking at our connections.

Our big understanding is that:

 we all belong somewhere and have rights and responsibilities

We are on the first part of our big understanding: We all belong somewhere.

We are looking at the countries with which we have a connection.

Here are our connections:

   

We have been learning about some of these countries.

In week 4 we learned about ZIMBABWE.

We learned about the flag of Zimbabwe and what the colours represented.








Here is the Zimbabwe reading we did

On Friday we welcomed, Joyful, Rudo's mum, to the classroom. Joyful was a teacher in Zimbabwe so we were really excited to learn about school life there. It is much different to our school here.
We asked many questions about festivals, the flag, money, and school life.
Here is some of the information Joyful shared with us.
